Method
Samosa Preparation
Making the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Resting the Dough
Gradually add water until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Shaping the Samosas
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin oval. Cut in half to form two semi-circles.
Filling the Samosas
Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone, and seal the edge. Fill with the crab mixture and seal the top edge.
Frying the Samosas
Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Avocado Salsa and Tamarind Drizzle Preparation
Preparing the Tamarind Drizzle
In a small bowl, mix tamarind paste, water, and brown sugar until smooth. Adjust sweetness as needed.
